Sunanta Kangvalkulkij of DITP stated that Bangkok Gems has played a key role in connecting global buyers and sellers for more than four decades and has contributed to Thailand’s export growth.
“During the first 11 months of 2025, after deducting re-export values, exports in this category reached $ 12.124 billion, representing growth of over 53 percent,” she said.

She added that the exhibition has expanded to include the Plenary Hall on Level 1, enabling more than 200 additional booths. The 73rd edition will host over 1,300 companies and more than 2,800 booths from over 20 countries, with more than 45,000 visitors expected.
